The Experience

Before You Go

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes

You’ll climb spiral staircases and cross sky bridges — closed-toe shoes with grip keep you safe on wooden platforms.

Hydrate and apply sun protection

Even under canopy cover, sun and humidity add up; bring a refillable bottle and reef-safe sunscreen.

Know the weight and health limits

Maximum participant weight is 105 kg; the course isn’t recommended for pregnant travelers or those with recent surgeries or heart conditions.

Expect stairs and brief hikes between platforms

Mobility to climb three spiral staircases and step between platforms is required — request pace adjustments if needed.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Na Muang Waterfalls — a good cool-down spot after the tour
  • Secret Buddha Garden viewpoint — offers quieter inland views away from beaches

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (monkeys)
  • Oriental pied hornbill and other forest birds

Conservation Note

Stay on marked platforms, avoid feeding wildlife, and choose operators that limit waste and maintain trails — small actions help preserve the forest and its native species.

Koh Samui developed from small fishing and coconut-farming communities; inland trails pass old plantations and granite outcrops that hint at the island’s geological past.
